Asig listened to his men's reports with a gloomy look on his face.

"You mean, nine teams are missing?" Ashige looked at the document in front of him, somewhat incredulous.

Team nine, that’s 450 people.

"Yes!" The grassland soldier nodded quickly.

Ashige knocked on the table. "Four hundred and fifty people are missing, and no news has been sent back?"

“No…” The soldier shook his head. “It’s hard for us to even find the bodies in this windy and dusty weather…”

This kind of windy and sandy weather is a double-edged sword. In theory, the cities in the north should be afraid of the grassland people at this time. They should all stay indoors and guard the city tightly.

The armies of other tribes on the grassland were also attacking various cities during this period, such as Cannes.

The scouts on the grassland were sent out to capture some merchants and people who were stranded outside, and then bring them back to Muyun City to help Muyun City operate and fill the population.

Ashige never expected that at this critical moment, there would be people from the Central Plains who would not care about their own lives and would intercept and kill the grassland people's team!

"No, there was a document last night..." Ashige started searching on the table: "Someone, someone, come here!"

Soon, a scholar came out from behind.

boom!

Ashiger slammed the table and yelled, "Where's the paperwork from last night? I put it here perfectly fine, how come it's gone?"

"What...is this about?" the scholar asked tentatively.

boom!

Ashige kicked the scholar in the air. The scholar was still more than three meters away from Ashige, but he was kicked away and fell against the wall.

"puff……"

The scholar spat out a mouthful of blood.

"It's just about the attack on soldiers outside the city. What else could it be? You useless piece of shit!" Ashige slammed the table, stood up, pointed at him and yelled.

"I'll look for it right away, I'll look for it right away..." The scholar struggled to get up and began to search on the table.

"Cough cough, cough cough..."

The scholar coughed as he searched, and he didn't even dare to cough blood onto the table.

Axige was polite to Shen Lang because Shen Lang said that he was half grassland bloodline and had a grassland name, and Shen Lang was a monk, so he was treated preferentially. Even though Shen Lang claimed to have a good relationship with Temur and Axige, they had a feud, but these could not be made public, and he still had to be polite on the surface.

These scholars no longer have the same treatment as Shen Lang.

These grassland talents have just become officials and know nothing. It can be said that half of the operation of Muyun City depends on the scholars and former officials captured by these people.

Soon, the scholar found the thing and handed it to Ashig.

Axige looked carefully and said, "Yes, a group of soldiers were attacked yesterday. They came back and said they encountered the Zhou cavalry. I don't know where they came from, but they suddenly appeared. I thought they were on their way and happened to run into them. It seems that they are heading for Muyun City. What should we do..."

"Tell me, what would you do if you encountered such a thing before?"

Ashiger glared at the scholar.

“Send troops to encircle and suppress…” The scholar whispered, “If this kind of thing happened in Wang County or Jin County in a state, it would be the strong men in the Divine Wandering Realm who would directly take action and wipe out the enemy.”

Wang County is a prosperous and important place, while Jin County may not be rich, but it is also an important place, such as some places that are very suitable for stationing troops or transportation hubs.

The most important city in a state, also the provincial capital, where most of the top players are.

The masters of a state are those who have reached the highest level of Shenyou Realm. In some important places, powerful people in Shenxuan Realm will occasionally appear, and they may become the court's tribute, the leader of a sect, or the commander-in-chief himself.

Some rich inland areas do not need a master of the Divine Mysterious Realm to be stationed, so the Divine Wandering Realm is the highest. For example, in the northern border, because of the existence of the King of Zhenbei, the Grand Commander is like a mascot, so a Divine Wandering Realm master is sent to be stationed.

Just like Xu Lie who was stationed outside Echeng before, they were all sent to the northern border because they were not welcomed by the court.

Shen Lang saw four people in the Divine Wandering Realm who were just housekeepers in the palace, and felt that the Divine Wandering Realm was just so-so and not very real. That was because it was a royal palace, and being a housekeeper in the palace could mean a lot of different things.

Shen Lang was very good at first, and it was just like that for everyone...

It's like after working in a big company for a long time, you can't help but look down on small companies when you leave.

"A Divine Wandering Realm expert directly attacked? You thought of that!" Ashige sneered, "You Central Plains people are really cowardly. If you encounter a few cavalry, the Divine Wandering Realm expert will have to attack. Then, will the Divine Wandering Realm expert still need to practice and deal with other things?"

"We were able to break through your Leiyun Pass and occupy your Muyun City because our masters were all undergoing the baptism of blood and fire and never dealt with these messy matters!"

"Everything is done by the strong, what's the use of those ordinary soldiers?"

The scholar dares to be angry but not to speak out.

Wang County is the administrative center of a state. If a master takes action, it means that the place is full of masters, which will have a deterrent effect on other places!

Damn it, he’s a barbarian, there’s no way to reason with him!

Besides, you are the chief secretary of the prefect, not the chief secretary of the Zhechoufu Zhechouduwei. You are in charge of administration, and military affairs are not your responsibility at all! Why don't you just hand it over and see whether the prefect and Zhechouduwei want to send troops or how to solve it?

At worst, the governor and the commander-in-chief also live in Muyun City. There is also a Sima here. If you are not sure, just ask. It's only a few steps away.

The administration of Muyun City is such a mess!

Chapter 154: Thousand Miles of Dam

This is the situation in Muyun City now. These people don’t know what they are responsible for, and the reports they make are all random.

The reason why this matter could be reported to Ashige was because he was a small chief and the victims were people from his tribe.

They were accustomed to letting the leaders of the previous tribes lead the troops, and they did not carry out any military reforms.

Official positions are still honorary now. If we want to become like the Great Zhou, we will have a long way to go.

In fact, in the history of China, these grassland people did not manage the country well, and they did not even take the imperial examination seriously. This was one of the foreshadowings of the later decline.

"Humph, I'll let my nephew go over this matter." Ashige stood up and said, "They are just a bunch of scoundrels. There's no need for the Divine Wandering Realm to take action. My nephew is in the Zhoutian Realm. It's more than enough for him to lead 500 soldiers. When the time comes, we can directly destroy this small group of cavalry and see where they came from!"

"If I knew who sent them, I would destroy their city!"

"grown ups……"

At this moment, another voice came from outside.

"Speak." Ashig said impatiently.

"A rich businessman in the city had a conflict with a grassland man. He said that the grassland man stole his goods and was found guilty..." The official who reported the news whispered, "However, the grassland man is also a businessman. He said he just borrowed it to see, not to steal. He also said that the Central Plains man was stingy..."

"You come to me for such a trivial matter?" Ashige said incredulously: "Isn't this the responsibility of the county magistrate? What does the county magistrate do for a living?"

“This, the merchant from the grassland is a cultivator in the Divine Sea Realm. The county magistrate cannot handle it because his level is not high enough…” The person who reported the news lowered his head.

The scholar was a little powerless to complain.

You are the prefect's chief secretary, and you should be the one handling this kind of political affairs...

"According to the previous rules..." Ashig said this and suddenly thought of what Shen Lang said last night.

The policy is so favorable to the Zhou people, they will sooner or later become the host. If this continues, people's hearts will be scattered!

Ashiger's expression was uncertain.

Zhou people, Zhou people, a group of defeated people, how can they have the qualifications to be so rampant?

I just borrowed your things to take a look, and you can accuse me, a grasslander, of stealing them from you?

We are all businessmen. Let us borrow it to see what happens. Can we let you see if it is broken or not return it to you?

When our envoys were in your capital, they could do whatever they wanted and you gave them what they asked for. Now you are so stingy, do you really think we are easy to bully?

…………

When the time comes, Shen Lang has to go to work as usual.

While walking on the road, he suddenly saw a businessman being carried out of the yamen.

"I did it, it was all me, I framed you, stop hitting me, stop hitting me..." The businessman's butt was already covered in blood, and he was being dragged by two yamen runners, with a look of pain on his face.

Judging from his expression, he seems to be a little out of his mind.

In this era, beating with a stick is really fatal!

Not to mention a cultivator, even if it was an ordinary person, there were iron sheets and nails on the board. Unless he was as lenient as Ji Wendi was when he beat Shen Lang, he would not be able to withstand it.

Even a cultivator who has reached the Leaping Mortal Realm cannot withstand the ordinary fifty strokes of the board.

poof...

The businessman was thrown into the street and a crowd of people ran over to watch.

Since the sandstorm, Shen Lang hasn't seen such a large-scale crowd for a long time.

The people nowadays include both grassland people and Zhou people, with Zhou people being the majority.

When Muyun City was devastated, most of the city's population died. It can be seen that these residents were migrated from nearby counties and villages.

Although they were not from the same place, they instinctively came together and were clearly distinguished from the people of the grassland.

The people of the grassland look stronger, their skin is much darker, and their clothing style is also different from that of the people in the Central Plains.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

"Why did you get beaten?"

"I don't know. He looks like a merchant from the Great Zhou Dynasty, not a merchant from the grassland."

"This is the first time in such a long time that a merchant from the Great Zhou has been beaten."

"What crime was committed?"

Soon, two people walked out of the county government office.

I saw Ashige with his arms folded across his chest, followed by a young man.

The young man was playing with a blanket with an amusing look on his face.

"All merchants in the Great Zhou listen up!" Ashige used his true energy to speak so loudly that the whole street could hear him clearly: "If you do business honestly, we won't care and will even make things convenient for you!"

"But if you come to the government office for trivial matters, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Do you know why he was punished?"

"I was just looking at his blanket and asked him where he got it, but he came to the government office to sue my merchant for robbery!"

"Borrowing to look at and robbing, are they the same thing?"

"The policy is to be friendly to the merchants of Da Zhou, but don't think you can do whatever you want!"

Shen Lang wanted to applaud after listening to Ashige's passionate speech.

This one is about us and you, what you said is so well-spoken.

If a Han official dared to say this to a minority ethnic group, the least he could do would be to be demoted.

Now is the time to gather people's hearts. If we want to complete the task, we have to tread carefully.

It is easy to destroy credibility, but very difficult to rebuild it.

It has not been long since Muyun City relocated its population, and many businessmen are waiting and watching. This mess happened at this time... I guess it will not be good.

No matter how you deal with it afterwards, there will be problems.

A playful expression appeared on Shen Lang's face.

As long as someone listens to my lobbying and does this kind of thing, this matter will turn from a conspiracy to an open conspiracy.

Let’s see how the grassland responds!

I'm afraid there will be some chaos in the next few days. As to how chaotic it will be, it depends on how fragile the people here are.

…………

After observing what was happening in front of the county government office, Shen Lang came to the shop assigned to him by the county magistrate.

The county magistrate was very considerate. The store here was very close to the city gate and not far from where Shen Lang worked.

Shen Lang is now holding a purchasing order given by the county magistrate. He is not only a supervisor, but also has purchasing duties. However, this purchasing is just a nominal position.

After all, the finished products are made by monks and spirit stones, so there is nothing to purchase.

Giving him this identity is just to make it easier for him to open a shop, and it also doesn't give an explanation to Mo Yi.

"Well, all that's missing is a brand..." Shen Lang looked at the decoration inside the store and couldn't help feeling sad.

This store should be a normal store that was destroyed by snow and wind and then renovated, right?
